Prison Art Sketch Pad

Drawings from inside.

This one is called “Rebirth.” I believe you come back. Though I haven’t seen this guy, Dimitri, again. And the angel is my niece. She has died from cancer three times, but she’s still alive. She’s really unique, and her godmother is Catherine Zeta-Jones. Ten years is coffee break time. Just being on the inside isn’t the problem, what tears me up is not being able to be there for my friends and family when something like that happens. But I’ve got it sorted now, I’ve got phone privileges so I can call and check on her.

Annons

This is from inside. One of them is high, one got a baggie that fucked him up, the third one, the one who’s looking away, just broke up with his girlfriend. The one with the chain is a bit of a gadget freak.

I’ve been locked up since 2000 and that’s when I first started painting, to be able to vent stuff. I don’t have access to all kinds of equipment, and the inspiration comes in bursts. When I lose inspiration? Whenever I haven’t had any lady visits for a while.

This one is about all the escapes we’ve had here. One guy dressed up as a woman and made it out.

They’re closing down the therapy now. This space will be turned into workplaces instead. Over there is where we will be folding diapers. I haven’t worked for anyone else since I was 17, so that is obviously not going to happen.

I guess this one is obvious. It took them a whole snatch squad. You know those cops that beat up that old man? That’s the difference between us and them, if we do anything like that, we’d be going down for life.
